Within our communities we have a wealth of skills, interests and experience that we can share with each other. Sharing these things can help to make our communities even better places to live and Timebanking is a really simple way to make that sharing easy.
Timebanking is all about giving and receiving. It works by people offering to share a skill, interest, experience or some practical support with other time bank members. In return they can receive something they want from the time bank.
Tony is 17 and offers to teach older people at the local community centre how to use WiiFit to keep them mobile and active. For every hour Tony puts in he earns one time credit which he spends on learning new cooking skills from Jan, another time bank member. Everyone’s time is equal. For more information about timebanking please read the attached flyer and visit www.timebanking.org.
You are warmly invited to attend an information session on Monday 30 March to find out more about timebanking and how it could benefit your community. You will also find out how Timebanking UK and Surrey County Council could work with people, groups, organisations and businesses to create a time bank in your area. The session will take place between 1pm and 3pm at the Staines Library, Friends Walk, Staines, TW18 4PG.
